A Cherry Blossom Girl is a common character type in Japanese media, due to Cherry Blossoms being their unofficial national flower and having a special place in their hearts. Most of these characters are named Sakura,note Japanese for Cherry Blossom but not every character with that name is of this character type (e.g., Sakura Kusakabe from Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan or Sakura Ogami from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc). She should have at least three of these characteristics, but it may be okay with two if the flower motifs are heavily emphasized: Named Sakura, Ouka,note The name Ouka is a less common word for "cherry blossom" which uses the same kanji (桜花), although there are a couple of similar-sounding names which aren't related or another name that invokes cherry blossoms. Pink Hair, often coupled with being an all-around sweetie. Associated with cherry blossoms as a Flower Motif A pink Color Motif Themes of death, spring and rebirth Themes of luck or fate Healing powers Being a Love Interest / Associated with love Being born in early spring-time Being a Yamato Nadeshiko and/or associated with traditional Japanese elements such as Japanese tea ceremonies, Ninja and Samurai. See also Cherry Blossoms, Pink Means Feminine, Flowers of Femininity. |

Although her name is implied to mean "full circle" rather than "flower", Madoka Kaname of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is definitely this. She has pink hair and healing powers, her magical girl form has a sakura blossom motif, and themes of death, fate, and rebirth surround her. | |

Bleach: Byakuya Kuchiki is a rare male example. The cherry blossom motif is connected to aristocracy and samurai. Byakuya is both a very high ranking aristocrat and is also a military captain. His zanpakutou's powers are cherry-blossomed themed, making it look like there's a cloud of petals flying through the air when he's in attack mode. His zanpakutou is also named "Senbonzakura" (�本桜). The cherry blossoms are actually tiny blades that appear to be cherry blossoms to everyone. In the anime, symbolising the deep themes of aristocratic/samurai honour in connection to the cherry blossom, Senbonzakura's spirit manifests as a traditional samurai in a lord/samurai relationship with Byakuya. Further more, Byakuya is also heavily connected to the themes of the transience of life and love. He's a widower who adopted his wife's sister as his own upon her dying request. His every action in the manga to date has been motived by love: either love and respect for his clan and his parents or, more noticeably, by love for the memory of his dead wife and for his sister, Rukia. By the way, he's a Shinigami. | |

The Sakuranomiya sisters in Blend-S. They come from a traditional Japanese family, have Yamato Nadeshiko elements to their appearances and personalities, and their family name literally means "cherry blossom palace". Maika, the younger of the two, has a pink waitress outfit and is introduced standing close to a cherry tree. | |

Sakura Haruno from Naruto has pink hair, is the girl the main character has feelings for, and obtains healing powers halfway through the series. Furthermore, one of the primary motivations that drive her actions is love, romantic or otherwise. The kanji used for her name translates to 'spring field of cherry blossoms' to further illustrate the themes behind her character. | |

Monster Rancher has two male examples in Genki and Mocchi. Genki's last name, Sakura(�倉) is a homophone with the word Sakura(桜) which means cherry blossoms, which are a symbol of death and rebirth. Mocchi uses cherry blossoms to attack and is associated with them, and the death-rebirth aspects come into play in the second and third seasons. | |

Cheryl Blossom from Riverdale has not only the Punny Name, the red hair or that she wears mainly red outfits. She's also got the connection to death with her brother Jason's murder and her attempted suicide at the end of season one, and she comes from an Old Money WASP family that serves as the rough American equivalent to aristocracy. The only reason why they haven't shown actual cherry blossoms yet is likely because season one took place in the fall and winter. Given that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is also a comic book writer, and probably knew this trope from anime and manga, this is probably deliberate. In the season 2 trailer, Cheryl is eating a cherry pie. Another important aspects around this trope, is Cheryl's on and off romance with Tony Topaz, and her gaining pyrokinesis powers in season 6, and being associated with the cycle of death and rebirth. | |

Milfeulle Sakuraba from the Galaxy Angel television and game series is a definitive Rose-Haired Sweetie who wears cherry blossoms in her hair and has appallingly good luck (also sometimes appallingly bad). Her younger sister Apricot in their respective sequel series also plays the trope straight, although she lacks the pink hair. | |

Takeru Tenkuji in Kamen Rider Ghost. He's the heir to a traditional temple, his primary costume is a coat with a sakura blossom pattern, and in keeping with symbolism he dies tragically young and in battle. The theme of death and rebirth is important to his character, as he is revived as a ghost and must then fight to restore himself to life. | |

Sakuya in Ōkami qualifies for this trope despite being the spirit of a golden peach tree — she protects and preserves Nippon through her network of enchanted trees, has pink blossoms, hides the people of Kamiki Village in her fruit when the darkness is about to overwhelm it, and at one point in the early game withdraws into her tree until revived by the protagonist Amaterasu. | |

Flower Knight Girl features several of its girls being this, courtesy of their thematic connections as a Flower Knight. There's Sakura, a predominantly pink Mage Marksman who fires Cherry Blossom-themed blasts out of her guns; Japanese Apricot, a close friend of Sakura whose namesake was once the blossom-viewing plant in prior sakura festivals; Formosan Cherry, a young girl in a pink kimono who aspires to be a future Yamato Nadeshiko; and Bloss, a rather literal depiction of this archetype In-Universe due to being the Anthropomorphic Personification of Blossom Hill's World Flower, a large Cherry Blossom tree which resides in the nation representing spring. | |

Kamen Rider: Yuuto Sakurai from Kamen Rider Den-O is heavily associated with the themes of love, luck and fate, and ultimately death, since at the end of the series his future self is wiped from existence, and has the "sakura" kanji in his family name. Kamen Rider Gaim's Kouta Kazuraba has a bike designed around the sakura theme, and a suit designed to look like samurai armor. "Fate" and "rebirth" are central themes of his character and the main female character's love for him is an important plot point. It's also mentioned that his birthday is in springtime. Takeru Tenkuji in Kamen Rider Ghost. He's the heir to a traditional temple, his primary costume is a coat with a sakura blossom pattern, and in keeping with symbolism he dies tragically young and in battle.

Gender-flipped by Chopper from One Piece. As the ship's doctor he's got the closest thing to healing powers in the series, his backstory has a fairly prominent death theme, he wears a huge pink hat for several years (and still wears it under his new hat), and he carries on his mentor's dream of bringing cherry blossoms back to his snow-covered island as a symbol of things getting better. It helps that his hooves are shaped like cherry blossom petals. | |

Tsukiuta's April representatives, Chisa and Arata, have a sakura flower as their symbol, and their fan club name is "cerasus" ("cherry" in Latin). While the women's side representative Chisa embodies most of these tropes, the men's side representative, Arata, embodies the Mono no Aware element, that the sakura are lovely when they blossom, but will soon die. His songs are usually about wanting to hold onto a love that will soon fade away, or remembering one that already has. An early stage play in the series, Yumemigusa, had him as The Shinsengumi's Okita Souji, and ends with his dying in the arms of his partner Aoi under a sakura tree as the petals rain down around them. | |

Cheria Barnes from Tales of Graces is the pink-haired love interest of main character Asbel Lhant. During the game, Cheria is described as motherful and dutiful, even spending seven years waiting for Asbel to come home. She possesses a healing power, which she uses to work in a relief organisation during the war. Her second Blast Caliber, "Garden of Innocence" consists of a distinctive sakura tree appearing behind her, healing all party members and reviving incapacitated ones. | |

Super Sentai: Ninja Sentai Kakuranger has Sakura, the pink member of a flower ninja team. But also less obviously is Tsuruhime who has a cherry blossom attack, is a ninja and descendant of a feudal lord, and death and rebirth are repeating elements in her family's story. Sakura Nishihori from GoGo Sentai Boukenger; a Meaningful Name because she's the Pink Ranger. She is a Love Interest to the hero Akashi and the lyrics to her Image Song use the traditional sakura blossom symbolism. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger has Mako Shiraishi, the Pink Ranger, who is both a samurai and Yamato Nadeshiko, and her character song has cherry blossom imagery. Avataro Sentai Donbrothers has a male example in Tarou Momoi, who is associated with pink peaches, constantly talks about fated meetings, is based on the folktale of Momotarō and rides into battle on a traditional Japanese shrine, which comes with women throwing sakura petals in the air. |

Sakura Shinguji in Sakura Wars, a young Samurai whose distinctive pink kimono has a repeated semi-abstract cherry blossom motif. She's also sort of the poster girl Love Interest of the series, and even her pilot uniform and personal mecha are pink. The Soft Reboot Sakura Wars (2019) continues the tradition with Sakura Amamiya, a swordswoman-in-training who dresses in a kimono with several pink elements, has a cherry blossom motif (represented as either an emblem worn on her kimono or a hair accessory worn with her combat uniform), and is the poster girl love interest for her game. And yes, her own combat uniform and personal mecha are pink too. In fact, this Sakura idolizes the original Sakura Shinguji. | |

Sakura Matou from Fate/stay night has a flower themed ending, is the final love interest and is working hard at being a Yamato Nadeshiko. However, things aren't as pleasant as they seem: Her route is the darkest of the three routes in the Visual Novel, filled with death, squick and mental trauma. | |

Kamen Rider Gaim's Kouta Kazuraba has a bike designed around the sakura theme, and a suit designed to look like samurai armor. "Fate" and "rebirth" are central themes of his character and the main female character's love for him is an important plot point. It's also mentioned that his birthday is in springtime. | |

Yozakura Kenshirou (四桜犬士郎) from Nanbaka is a gender-inverted example. He has pink and white hair, his eyes are sakura-pink, dons a cape with cherry blossom motifs, and is tasked with maintaining the peace in the prison. The actual kanji for "cherry blossom" is in his name, and together, his last name is homophonous with the concept of viewing cherry blossoms at night. | |

Sakura Kasugano from Street Fighter has a cherry blossom motif in some of her official artworks, she's born in March, and she's more or less a Love Interest for Ryu (though, it's largely one-sided).

Kingdom Hearts has a Rare Male Example in Marluxia, who was actually intended to be a woman in early drafts but had his gender switched in order to avoid some unfortunate implications. Marluxia has pink hair, his stage has a prominent floral theme and he also scatters petals around himself whenever he moves. He combines Fate and Death themes from both the west and east by way of dressing in a Hooded Black Cloak and wielding a Sinister Scythe, which makes him look very much like The Grim Reaper, while his "element" is identified as "Flower", though in contrast to the floral-themed healing spells in Kingdom Hearts, Marluxia's are deadly instead, the petals he scatters whenever he moves and attacks are either Cherry Blossoms or Rose Petals and his stage is eerily white. | |

While Chloe Cerise is one of these in her home anime, Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail expands on this. She is associated with rebirth (for how she's becoming a new person) along with fate and destiny — both in that she's tasked by One-One to topple the Apex and that Walter and Henry in the Fog Car task her to be the embodiment of Destiny in their ritual — and is shown to be a kind and compassionate person (for those on the Train, not back home). However unlike the anime that plays up the color pink, Chloe is associated with the color red and is actually born in Autumn (as a Libra). | |
